Overview
- The Instagram post, published June 9, 2026, shows Eloy de Jong, his partner Ibo, their daughter Indy and Milon's mother at the decorated grave and includes the caption "Vor 15 Jahren veränderte sich unser Leben für immer" and the Story line "Milon. Für immer in unseren Herzen."
- Milon was born extremely prematurely in June 2011 at about 24 weeks and died a few hours after birth, a loss that the family and multiple reports link to the local hospital's limited capacity to treat such a tiny infant.
- After Milon's death Eloy and Ibo arranged for the pregnant mother Ilja to be transferred to a specialist clinic in Miami, where Milon's twin sister Indy was delivered healthy nine days later.
- The family practices a three-parent co-parenting arrangement with Eloy, Ibo and Ilja sharing custody of Indy, and they live together in Utrecht where Eloy regularly visits Milon's grave.
- De Jong has made the loss a long-running part of his public life by dedicating the song "In den Sternen" to Milon and serving as an ambassador for a foundation that supports families of premature and stillborn babies, a role that gives visibility to medical and emotional needs faced by such parents.
